Antigua St John's - A 20 year old shot in the leg on Sunday night was said to be resting comfortably in the hospital.
According to information from the police, Isaac Henry of Gordon Street, Villa, had been sitting with friends at a bar on Athill Street at around 10:15 pm on Sunday when three masked men drove up and opened fire.
Henry was wounded in the upper right thigh, and collapsed as he ran for cover in a neighbour’s yard. An ambulance took him to the hospital for emergency surgery.
Meanwhile, the police are also investigating an incident on the southern side of the island where a Turtle Bay couple was robbed by three masked men armed with knives and gun.
The home invasion took place shortly after 3 am on Saturday, while the couple was asleep.

Another, set traps, there are many ways that can be done, the robber will never know he will be a corpse within seconds. From that time on, rest comfortably. But start the investigation from within!

REVIEW THE ROADS
A suggestion to the policy makers, Antigua has many streets with too much diversion, and there is no need to rethink planning and strategy. Now, there are many alternative road routes for criminals to use, and itnis time much of the traffic is directed along one way routes.
If that is done, there should be no more than two points, and cameras strategic placed at each turn. The police will have to review the road maps and limit the criminal get-away within their area of control. There are many streets in Grays Farm, Point, Villa that could be one way, with strategic intersection, and ultimately forcing the offenders onto New Gate Street or Geen Bay Police Station!

Also, do the police have the capacity to take fingerprints from the Land Rover?
These crimes happening affect everyone; from locals to non-residents to the occasional tourist. If areas on the island are being perceived as non-safe, such as the English Harbor area which is usually deemed safe and experiences a high volume of people due to the Dockyard and Yacht season and supplies many jobs due to this, then the island is going to hurt greatly, financially and socially. These people have to be caught as soon as possible and there needs to be better prevention on the island to avoid these ridiculous crimes to protect everyone on the island.
